Heterogeneous Telescope Networks
The eSTAR project is a key player in the Heterogeneous Telescope Networks (HTN) consortium which represents a number of major research groups in the field of robotic telescopes. The organisation has three primary aims:
- Interoperability between robotic telescope networks
- Interoperability with the Virtual Observatory for event notification
- Establishment of an e-market for the exchange of telescope time
Initial funding for the consortium and the first HTN Workshop was provided as part of an EPSRC grant for "Links to International e-Science Sister Projects", which was obtained in a joint proposal between the eSTAR and Robonet-1.0 Projects in the United Kingdom, the MONET Project in Germany and the RAPTOR (Los Alamos National Laboratory) and SGM (NASA Advanced Architectures and Automation Group) Projects in the United States.
